Social service officials have arrived in Umlazi in Durban where they are assisting affected residents with getting new identity documents and birth certificates, among others.
Thousands of people will need to replace important documents like these that have been lost in the devastating floods last week.Close to 400 people have died and thousands have been left homeless, but these numbers were expected to increase as mop-up operations continued.
The assistance would come in the form of food parcels, credit allowances for restocking and rebuilding. “The big request has come for water – even from people not affected by the floods because the water purification system isn’t working because they’ve been damaged by the floods. So lots of Durban, Tongaat and Verulam are without water and because it’s the weekend, a lot of companies can’t comply. So, those are all challenges for water, but we’ve been able to supply a few truckloads of water.
